Name: Wells Windforce

Pokemon: Rayquaza

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Hometown: Rustboro City

Level: 33

Ability: Air Lock

Moves: Crunch, Ancient Power, Twister, Scary Face, Air Slash

Legendary powers: Wells can survive extreme altitudes indefinitely, which also lets him hold his breath for nearly an hour if he needed to. He can also survive extremely low temperatures, is highly resistant to simple asphyxiants and ozone, immune to UV light, and has a 3m vertical jump.

Held item: Sitrus Berry

Appearance: Wells is 2m(6'6") tall, has green hair, and is slightly tan. He has green eyes, a small nose, and has a very slim physique. He usually wears a black vest over a green shirt, as well as a chestnut-colored leather bag and black pants.

Personality: Wells loves attention and feeling like he impresses others, as well as them considering him valuable and hepful. Beyond that, he doesn't really want anything more than the chance to live a life of leisure, entertainment and lively debate. Wells always does his best to stay cool and think calmly, even when the world suddenly surprises him, and he always thinks about what could happen in the future. When something absolutely unexpected happens, he often waits for a few seconds and rarely makes a choice based on instinct. On his own, Wells can enjoy spending his time thinking about the future and the greater questions, hoping to invent something interesting worth talking about.

Backstory: Wells lived an ordinary life in Rustboro, never really noticing that he lived in a big city as he always spent time with a small, selective circle of friends near his home. He came from a family who dedicated their lives to being his parent, although he often ended up doing a lot on his own. Wells had a talent for mathematics and language, although he didn't use it for anything other than finishing homework quickly and lounging afterwards. Wells found himself attracted to the trades, as he heard a lot about the places a trade could take him. He decided to become an apprentice for an electrician, and found work at ports, gyms and anywhere else exciting people travelled. After 5 years of work, he was zapped by electricity. Afterwards, he was given a week off work and spent it with his Helioptile, who was suffering from a strange disease.

That same week, he felt a strange force go through him. He discovered that he was very strong, could work far faster and that he seemed to never get tired. Curious, he also learned of his ability to withstand great altitudes, and he decided to begin mountain climbing. After the week had passed, his employer let him go. He learned that Arceus had given him a greater purpose, and Wells' employer knew that his new role was far more important than his old one. Wells decided to enjoy his vacation of sorts, and lived simply as he picked up odd jobs around Hoenn to keep himself busy.

Name: Seras Bancroft
Pokemon: Diancie
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Hometown: Verdanturf Town

Level: 37
Ability: Clear Body
Moves: Dazzling Gleam, Ancientpower, Smack Down, Sharpen, Reflect, Stealth Rock

Legendary Powers: Seras can create diamonds by compressing carbon from the air, producing fist-sized gemstones almost instantaneously that can grow layer-by-layer over several seconds until becoming roughly head-sized. While concentrating on her powers, she can create and control roughly a dozen small gemstones or a handful of larger gemstones at once - while distracted or otherwise engaged, she can hold them stationary in the air without allowing them to fall. Seras can also manipulate the shape of her gemstones and fuse them together - although she cannot levitate any creations that are larger than her head, she can fashion bridges, barricades and various sculptures over the course of several minutes.

Held Item: Shell Bell

Appearance: Seras is built daintily, standing roughly 5'6" tall with a thin frame and a soft face perpetually lit by a contented smile. She wears her cherry pink hair down to her waist, occasionally braided for formal situations but usually flowing wild and free. Although she travels with a small range of outfits suitable for weather conditions across Hoenn, she favours loose garments in a range of blues and purples, occasionally matched with jewelry created through her powers.



Personality: Seras is a gentle and nurturing soul, generous with her compassion and easily moved by the happiness of others. She has little patience for monotony or bland routines, preferring to chart new horizons with every footstep and seek the joy of fresh beauty or a stranger's smiling face. Although her confidence has grown immensely since melding with Diancie, her discomfort in face-to-face confrontations has not entirely passed - rather than outright fleeing from stressful situations, she prefers to diffuse situations using firm persuasion or quietly separate herself and those she cherishes from potential sources of conflict. Savoring the feeling of grass under her feet or the warm embrace of a friend, she aspires towards nothing more than savoring the world around her, travelling at her own pace and exploring the pleasure in every moment rather than chasing the future or clinging to the shackles of the past. She tends to communicate with others through meaningful gestures and comforting touch as much as with words - her talent for capturing the world through artwork has led her to create sculptures that capture the raw emotions of their subject as well as any speech.

Backstory: Born as the male-bodied heir to the Bancroft estate, Seras' early years were stained by intolerance and rigid expectations from her family. Between intense coaching on the family's export business, tutoring on proper etiquette and numerous reproachful lectures over her 'insufficient strength of character' from her father, it was made plainly apparent that her family expected her to grow into a cookie-cutter nobleman in order to maintain the family fortunes. Without a means of outwardly expressing her discomfort, Seras turned to the arts - painting, photography and especially sculpture. Although too young to fluently express her discomfort in words, she would purge her stress and anxiety through sculptures of herself as she lived in her dreams - cherub-faced, barefoot and with long, untamed hair billowing in the wind.

After approaching her family when she was 18, Seras was informed in no uncertain terms that gender transition would be impossible - the affront to the family's reputation would be too great for them to indulge the 'baseless whims' of their child, let alone the personal indignity of acknowledging Seras as a daughter after years attempting to iron out any such notions. Arceus begged to differ. As the Power Plague escalated from a 'common' pandemic to a potentially god-slaying disease, Arceus searched for humans capable of partnering with each of the Legendary Pokemon, manipulating both the soul and (to a lesser extent) the physical form of their hosts. And while flowing pink hair and a newly feminine build wouldn't look unusual to most people, Seras' overnight transformation was enough to drive her father into wordless sputtering.

Seras was over the moon.

Despite her family's furious demands that she uphold her duties to their household, Legendary Pokemon or not, Seras swiftly packed her belongings and embarked on a journey across Hoenn, with no destination but the next crossroads and no goal but to escape from her parents and relish her newfound liberation. Her new powers quickly proved invaluable - after several weeks of trading gemstones at village markets, she gradually learned to meld and shape the gemstones she created into glittering figurines, selling awed townsfolk and gleeful children sculptures of their loved ones produced before their very eyes.

As weeks turned to months and months turned to years, her journey grew into a new way of life - travelling to all of the major cities and landmarks of Hoenn, sharing the beauty she witnessed during her travels and earning a reputation across Hoenn as a wandering artist. Although her shameless use of her powers earned occasional glances of scorn or fear, such incidents did little to diminsh the joy she felt from sharing her creations with others - sharing both the beauty in the world which the sculptures reflected and the heart of the woman who sculpted them. Seras had never felt more content and genuine in her life.

Name: David Stone

Pokemon: Regirock

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Hometown: Mauville City

Level: 30

Ability: Clear Body

Moves: Stomp, Charge Beam, Bulldoze, Power-up punch

Legendary powers: David is a powerful and resilient individual, his body having properties that make it difficult for him to be cut and made to bleed however this strength has left him more vulnerable to brute force attacks, his body being easily bruised and his bones easily crushed. His body is very responsive to rocks of all kind, often to recover after suffering injuries he will place stones on his wounds that cause him to heal at a much faster rate. Most of his moves come from using the incredible herculean strength his body provides him.

Held item: Leftovers

Appearance:



Personality: David is a cold, and harsh judge of character. His attitude towards people has always been one of pushing those around him to reach their potential. Arrogance, reckless behavior and selfish attributes are the core opponents of his life's philosophy. Since becoming an avatar, his personality has fused with Regirocks, now feeling an immense desire to protect nature and Pokemon. David believes the best way to see the true heart of a person is through battle, and how they fight is far more important that the outcome of the battle. With a rigid code, and the ideology that those who have power, have a responsibility to use it to help others and not for selfish gain.

Backstory:
David started life as an archaeologist at the age of eighteen, interested in researching fossil pokemon and the formation of rock type pokemon. His own Tirtouga that he carries comes from one of his first digs inside a Unova temple. His early twenties where spent travelling, exploring and learning. His skill as a pokemon trainer was low, and for a long time Tirtouga never got to spend much time battling, instead being used as a travelling companion.

The power plague never affected Tirtouga, because the time the duo spent in isolation in deserts the worst of the plague skipped over them. David thought that his life wouldn't be affected by the virus. Until he fell into a ruin. A broken leg, and a lack of equipment he assumed that would be the end of him. To die trapped within a tomb on route 111. To his great surprise, the rocks around him gave him great strength. His broken leg healed within minutes. Arcues had fused his soul with the soul of Regirock and granted him new powers. His life of temple diving and underground mining where behind him. He felt a surge of responsibility.

David spent the next few months testing himself, and his ability to train Pokemon. Him and Tirtouga now shared thoughts, and battling went from a crude and ineffective system to the two having synchronized minds that could analyze and respond to a variety of battling situations. Whilst his prowess as a trainer increased, he also tested his own skill. Learning how his new body worked, unaware for a long that his body was fused with the legendary pokemon. Unsatisfied with living around humans, he moved to a life of living outdoors - finding comfort in caves, not needing warmth or sheets to keep him comfortable. Stone was all he needed.

His reputation grew, escalating to the status of urban myth. Trainers who encountered him where challenged to a pokemon battle, demanding that the person express themselves. The only way he could truly judge somebody was how they treated their pokemon in a battle. The majority of trainers where allowed safe passage that he over-watched after the battle, regardless if they won or lost. For trainers he deemed to be arrogant, ungrateful and poor as trainers, he battled himself. Dreams of a stone golem calling to him, demanding he fight for freedom and justice, to protect the weak.

Pokemon: Suicune

Gender: Male

Age: 13

Hometown: Cerulean City, Kanto

Legendollars: 2600

Level: 26

Ability: Water Absorb

Moves:

Legendary Powers: Kaze can cleanse an object or substance of impurities at a touch. However, this power is not without its limits, as Kaze's energy is drained every time he uses this power. At present, he can only cleanse an amount of a substance of a mass around equal to his own without falling victim to unconsciousness. While he can thereby cleanse small, lightweight Pokemon of the Power Plague while only suffering from an increase in appetite, larger Pokemon that he would aid absorb greater levels of energy. As a result, Kaze typically keeps an excess of berries and energy-rich foods on-hand to still this side effect.

Held Item: Soothe Bell

LD: 1200

Other Supplies: Chesto Berry (x3); Oran Berry (x5)

Appearance: Since being chosen for the avatar of Suicune, Kaze has undergone a number of transformations. His youth was massively enhanced, and his eyes became brighter, changing from a natural dark blue to a luminous red. Another major change was to his hair, which became a nearly neon cyan, albeit with one lock of violet among his bangs. Kaze was also branded with a diamond-shaped white rune on each bicep, much like the patterns found on his Pokemon.

Originally, Kaze was nothing spectacular in build, and while Suicune's choice of him brought about no change in size, he very quickly discovered an increase in athletic ability when muscles in certain areas of his body (mostly his arms and legs) were strengthened to better suit his purpose.

With a sudden augmentation of his physical pigmentation, Kaze saw a need for an upgrade to his previously bland wardrobe. Now he embraces the colors of the Legend he embodies, with bright blues, white, and violets serving as the major tones in his garb, among which is a prized white bandanna which trails behind him akin to Suicune's ribbon-esque tails, and a sky blue jacket adorned with white rhombi.

Personality: From his earliest memories, Kaze recalls always desiring to aid the sick and downtrodden. In school, he would always lend his lunch to his fellow students who had forgotten or lost theirs. His parents would also scold him on bringing injured wild Pokemon into their house when he would attempt to care for them.

All-in-all, Kaze has always been self-sacrificing. However, this has proven to be a major weakness at times. When he'd bring himself to harm in order to save endangered Pokemon, he would press on, ignoring the dangers and occasionally result in trips to the hospital. Even through his worst ordeals, however, Kaze refuses to accept help from others, being primarily concerned for the well-being of his "patients".

His bravery, youthful innocence, and compassion were the traits that compelled Suicune to choose Kaze for his avatar.

Biography: Being young, Kaze's life has hardly seen anything spectacular. However, his love for Pokemon has always been strong, and when he was young, he imagined his parents' house a nursery for Pokemon and would always bring home Pokemon he thought needed help. One instance in particular saw Kaze chase a Poliwag suffering of a sprained ankle into Cerulean Cave. Not knowing of the dangers within, Kaze soon found himself face-to-face with a territorial Arbok.

But Kaze was determined to rescue Poliwag and raced around Arbok to find it. After enduring a number of poisonous attacks from Arbok, Kaze emerged from the cave with Poliwag in tow. Unable to keep his feet beneath him, Kaze collapsed, falling head-first into the river. Some time later, Kaze would awake not far from Bill's cottage, healed of his wounds and finding Bill racing toward him. When Bill arrived with questions concerning Kaze's well-being, Kaze could only respond with, "I don't know." However, it was clear that something had aided both him and Poliwag, as Poliwag was fine when Kaze awoke.

The detail he was oblivious to was that Suicune had been watching over him that day and had been the one to rescue him. So, when the time came for the Legends to be given avatars, Suicune specifically requested Kaze.

Kaze would never forget the day. Three weeks prior, on his birthday, he had finally been allowed his first Pokemon: a Chingling he had nicknamed "Jingle". Then, that fated day, Suicune approached him, much to his astonishment (as Kaze had only heard of the Pokemon as myth). Reaching out to touch Suicune, Kaze found that the contact sent chills to his spine, and suddenly, the Legends braying became intelligent vocabulary.

When Suicune described what was happening, and that Kaze had been chosen, Kaze immediately scrambled to the water to find his appearance drastically morphed. As was inevitable, Kaze's parents discovered the transformation, and decided to move to the Hoenn region. Specifically, to the heart of all things busy: Mauville City.

Name: Germaine Koller

Pokémon: Giratina

Gender: Male.

Age: 38

Hometown: Snowpoint City; Sinnoh.

Level:40

Ability: Pressure

Moves: Ancient power, Dragon Claw, Destiny bond, Shadow sneak, Earth power and Aura Sphere.

Legendary powers: Giratina, the shadow Pokémon, or Renegade Pokemon has always existed in another dimension, placed there by Arceus for his violence in a time long since past.
He has various abilities, namely the ability to travel back to his distortion world and out again as he see's fit- it is limited of course, there are 'focal' points littered across the world that shimmer slightly whenever he nears them.
The Distortion world allows him to travel around in that world with greater ease than if he was in the real world as he reverts back to his form of Giratina- in this world he can view the real world; watch, and wait.
He can and will drag some unsuspecting souls into the Distortion world for some reason or another- but he generally hunts for two very specific targets.
He also has the ability to move through objects- becoming transparent when doing so; he can't sustain this for great lengths of time however in his avatar.
Germaine is also naturally resistant to normal attacks- be it a punch from a human or a headbutt or tackle from a Pokemon.

Held item: Spooky Plate- a shard of Arceus himself, it appeared in the Distortion world when he was freed- he is however searching for his Griseous Orb.
This is held within a small leather Knapsack that he carries with him; it also holds various other items, such as berries, a map, a poffin case, a journal and money.

Appearance:
A rather slim and slender physique that is only magnified at the fact he stands at just over Six foot tall.


Giratinas personality: Giratina is an age old Pokémon that has seen the wrath of the gods, the power that Arceus is capable of, and incapable of.
Before his internment that lasted over 10,000 years Giratina had little in the way of personality, it was currently still forming, much like an infants - he was easily interested in new things however, he spent a great deal of time testing the limits of his powers and learning his boundaries, his relationship with his brother and sister was strained, but nothing that could escalate into anything more than that - they respected each others space and rarely came into contact with one another - something that benefited all parties involved.
Giratina was learning his place in the world when he broke his boundaries and was; as a consequence, imprisoned by God.
That was the moment he first expressed the emotions that was hate, and anger.
And those emotions have become a piece of his being, who he is - he embodies those two emotions more than any other being in existence, the Distortion world a pressure cooker that stewed and fostered those emotions, boiling them done further and further, reducing them until the finished product was just as much as a piece of those ingredients as they were a piece of everything else.
Happiness, love, joy, humour, these were foreign to him - impossible for his mind to fathom or comprehend, it was only when he was put into his human counterpart did he for the first time experience these emotions.
The ability to love a taste of food, to laugh with someone you have befriended, to care for someone other than ones self - the things that were necessary for him to leave the life he had endured behind were given to him by the very being he despised more than anything else in existence.
But one cannot leave behind their heart if they do not like it, nor can anyone just remove their arms or legs because you feel they hinder you - without tearing into your very being, these things are with you forever.
They make up who you are, and Hate anger, pain all of these things could no just be cast aside or left behind, they will remain with him for the rest of his days - they are his very fibre of being, he embodies those feelings and no matter how much he represses them - they always come back.
Giratina is doomed, to live in eternity in pain and suffering... Unless...
He brings an end to the thing that was the root cause of them; Germaine mellowed Giratina, as did his companion Kirlia - but they cannot stop him from being what he is.

No one can.

Germaine's Personality: Germaine was a nice person, kind and warmhearted - he was a person who loved to help others and competed in Pokémon competitions back in his home nation of Sinnoh - a very successful Pokémon coordinator who also helped new and up and coming coordinators find their feet in the world that was infinity more different than that of the Pokémon trainer world.
The moment he was hijacked by the Pokémon Giratina however, this has changed - whilst he is still a nice person through and through, he has become noticeably colder than he used to be - the God that now sleeps in his mind has changed Germaines personality a fair bit, his decision making is slightly erratic, making choices that neither he nor Giratina wants but something completely different in a conflict of wishes, as if a third personality arises out of the attempt of two mind argueing over what to do.
The process of fighting his new mind causes him to tire out easily and mental exhaustion is something that becomes fraught and common on certain points.
No longer is Germaine the warmhearted person who steps out of his way to help others.
Now calculation and an almost cold demeanour takes hold over him - he attempts to ensure that he sates the Pokémon inside of him to prevent him from forceably taking control, whilst also ensuring that he sticks to his own sense of morality, reducing as much damage that is done to any one who stands by the pair.

He cannot afford to be kind any longer, he must ensure that Giratina never repeats the episode that brought Germaine back to the world.

Backstory:
Giratina remembered the day that Arceus; God of all creation entered his realm - he knew everything that took place in the Distortion world, it was as much a part of him as he was a part of it.
Arceus was far more powerful than him though, as is the obvious result of God meeting one of his creations- Giratina was dubious at first, but hidden deep under all the hate and resentment there was a glimmer of hope from afar he had witnessed what was occurring on the real world.
And if Arceus had come here at this time, it meant one of two things.
Today was the day he died.
Or the day he was freed.

It was the latter, Arceus spoke and then he left without waiting for a reply- and before he knew it he was blinking through the eyes of a human on the ground of the Human world.
A soft breeze tickled his face and swept through his hair, staring down he seen a pair of hands- one of them had very callused finger tips in comparison to the other, but they were soft and had slender dexterous fingers.
He fell to his knees for the first time and let out long staggered sobs- he was overjoyed, for the first time in his long life he felt that emotion.
After a few minutes, ho composed himself and looked around- he was in a forest by the looks of it, and it had snowed quite recently - it had just dawned upon him that he had dirtied his trousers, a new experience to be sure.

It was strange though- somehow he had clearly took possession of a humans body, but he had no idea of who this person was or what he was doing in this snowy forest.
A name...
He needed a name.

Giratina started feeling around his new body for some sort of identification, his search yielded a wallet in his right trouser pocket, and inside it contained some money, various cards and a photo of himself.
He gazed at the photo for a while after removing it from its plastic sheath - had had to admit, he liked the look of this human. He picked through the various cards after placing the photo back- they all had the name Germaine upon them, he personally didn't care what the family name was as the humans called it- the only family he had trapped him in a prison and a torturous existence for centuries - so he donned the name Germaine.

For obvious reasons, Germaine didn't return back to the city that was closest on the road, instead he headed - instinctively towards a weak spot between the worlds; focal points that allowed him to view the human world with greater ease from the other side- since he has been freed from his jail, it appears he can now access the distortion world and this world with ease- so long as he finds one of these focal points; and he knew where almost everyone was off by heart, being in that place for centuries these areas were the ones he was most familiar with as he generally watched through them.

Ah.
The Snowpoint city Focal point number 3.
Now he knew where he was, this focal point was not far from the city itself, but rather the road leading to it via Mount Coronet- it figured he'd be in this country of all the ones out there, and it was this one he definitely could not stay in - he wanted to get away from the nation that caused him the most distress, and it would complicate things less if wasn't around those who might have known the person this body belonged too.
So he entered the realm that was his home - its familiarity was somewhat comforting,but he didn't want to be here for long.
It also appeared that he reverted to his normal form here.
Giratina travelled through his realm; searching for one that he liked. It took an hour, but he found an area that looked nice, a city called Fortree city - the humans here were in tune with nature and he had a greater respect for them than he did the rest, he felt that they truly appreciated the world they lived in - as they should.

Once Germaine materialised in the world of men and Pokemon he began to enjoy his new life.
There were some things he could never shake off however, namely his observant nature, he would typically observe others rather than participate, but on occasion he would realise that he could actually participate now, as he has always wanted to, it would take some time before that would sink in - old habits die hard, a human saying that he was fond of.

During this time Giratina discovered some facts about his body - Germiane, it appeared that he held some musical talent, musical notes were something he could read although it felt odd that he could comprehend what these squiggles of ink on paper meant; as if some knowledge was always there, but he never knew it until now.

And it wasn't till further down the line when he visited Lilycove city that he started to work as a Pokemon contest choreographer, something Giratina certainly never anticipated that he'd ever do, but a job was a job, and it was something that he felt that was Germaines old job as well, since contests were indeed held in the Sinnoh region where this body originated from.
He impressed the right people when he went and participated in a contest with Kirlia, and then after a trial of sorts impressed them further, earning a well paid job in the process; Germiane spent a good year working out of Lilycove; using the abilities he never actually owned himself as a means to survive.
That being said, he did indeed make an impression to the world that viewed Pokemon contests and gained a peice of knowledge about the body he inhabited.

It was around a year in to his new life; whereupon other Legendary Pokemon had become rather famous in their new roles that Giratina befriended his first Pokemon, a female Kirlia.
From what he gathered these Pokemon were typically attuned to the feelings of the humans and Pokemon around them, and it appeared that this Kirlia was aware of the great turmoil that raged in his heart, she knew that he suffered more than any other being could ever suffer.
And she followed him - Germaine didn't ask for this Pokemon to be his friend, but nevertheless she did become it - humans needed Pokéballs for this sort of thing, but this one naturally followed him and would fight for him if he wanted it.
He slowly came closer to Kirlia, and after all this time relies upon her whenever his emotions start to flare up - particularly rage and hate.

After some more time of travelling with his friend he decided to partake in battling with other trainers - it was surprisingly difficult, and he had to stop himself from lashing out at the other trainers Pokemon early into his experience of this, especially when Kirlia took some serious damage.
He seldomn battles now however, he may one day take it up again, but when he has a Pokemon with him that he doesn't feel such a companionship with.
Fundamentally this is flawed of course- - other trainers say so but he disregards them; they simply can't comprehend what his and Kirlia's relationship is.

Then came the day that Kirlia dragged him by the arm towards a poster pinned up in the city center of Rustboro City, it was about the avatars - a festival dedicated towards them; Kirlia knew in her heart that Germaines intention towards going was one of vengeance, if he found either of Diagla or Palkia there- they would pay heavily for their actions in the past towards him; but at the same time, he may meet others...
Legendary's that actually may know of him, and possibly even respect or like him.
It was worth a try at the very least.

Name: Rebeca Firmen

Pokemon: Groudon

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Hometown: Unknown

Level: 42

Ability: Drought/Desolate Land

Moves: Hone Claws, Ancient Power, Lava Plume, Earth Power, Thunder Punch, Earthquake

Legendary powers: Rebeca’s most notable power is that her core body temperature is around three times that of a normal human, and is capable of increasing to the point of causing environmental damage. At higher temperatures she smells a little like sulphur. She is both very strong and durable, being able to easily lift and move objects several times her own size. She is largely immune to extreme temperatures (she once climbed Mt. Silver completely naked just for the fun of it, and she looks at a pool of lava the same way most people look at hot springs or a hot tub. In between those extremes, she typically doesn’t feel the difference). She is somewhat skilled at manipulating rocks, earth, and fire, though her use of it tends to be rather crude in its results. Do not make any bad breath or body odor jokes towards her, or she may demonstrate just how bad it can actually be.

Held item: Heat Rock

Appearance: Rebeca stands roughly six feet tall, with very dark brown hair (turns black when wet) that extends down to her shoulderblades. Her hair is rather messy as she rarely (if ever) takes care of it besides bathing. Her body is very muscular due to all the hiking and climbing she does. For clothing, she prefers comfort over all else, generally keeping to t-shirts, loose pants and boots suitable to her life lifestyle. She does not own underwear of any kind, because she only keeps the clothes in case she encounters other people in her wandering.
She shares the same markings across her body as Primal Groudon, though hers are black and she passes them off as tattoos. Her eyes are also the same amber colour. Her nails are quite large and pointed, which she conceals with gloves, and her teeth are slightly more pointed than normal.

She also has several scars. These include:

-A trio of claw marks on her right cheek
-Two long gashes down her inner left thigh
-Matching claw marks on her shoulderblades
-Numerous small scratches and cuts on her arms, legs, back and chest.
-A long laceration that begins a couple inches left of her belly button and curves up to the side of her ribs, with signs of having been burned shut.
-A small burn on her left upper arm
-Three short claw marks on her right side, starting just beneath her collarbone and ending on the upper surface of her breast.

She carries a backpack in which she keeps her supplies and several changes of clothes, mostly in case she accidentally incinerates the ones she’s wearing.

In Primal Form, Rebeca becomes much closer in form to Groudon. Her markings and scars glow with molten heat, her nails transform into claws that have completely overtaken her fingertips and toes, her teeth become completely carnivorous, and she grows to half again her normal size. Her eyes take on the same molten appearance as her markings, and extreme waves of heat radiate off her body, melting or incinerating most nearby objects. Her skin becomes closer to the armoured plates that Groudon possesses. For the love of all that is alive and good, do not put her in this state.

Personality: Rebeca is a person torn between desiring the company of others, and wishing the rest of the world would just leave her alone. She much prefers the company of Pokemon to humans, and spends most of her time hiking through the wilderness, living off the land and exploring remote locations. Only rarely does she rejoin human civilization, and so she is very self-sufficient. Because of her self-imposed isolation, she has a rather abrupt attitude that can come across as rude. The finer points of conversation are lost on her, and she tends to take things at face value. Even so, she has a deep desire for someone to share her time with, someone who would keep her warm at night as opposed to the other way around. For all her toughness, Rebeca is actually somewhat shy and naïve on human behavior.
In regards to being the avatar of Groudon, Rebeca is mostly ambivalent. She tends to use her powers for mundane purposes (there are quite a few cliffs and mountains that now have conveniently placed hand and foot holds), and she prefers not to bring attention to herself when in human company. However, some of her most destructive capabilities are subconsciously controlled, and her greatest fear is accidentally harming someone. She has cheerfully resigned herself to the fact that she makes for a very convenient space heater, and thinks nothing of sleeping in a pile with others.
On the rare occasion that Rebeca engages in battle herself (she much prefers to just scare potential enemies away), she is very much a physical brawler, getting up close to her opponents and using her considerable size and strength to overwhelm them. She strikes first and strikes hard, aiming to end the battle quickly before she risks collateral damage. Towards this end, she has learned and adopted moves that emphasize her physicality.

Backstory: secret secrets.

Innocent secrets: Rebeca enjoys spicy food and sour candies, the former because it gives her the illusion of “heat”, and the latter because she just does. She has zero interest in men, and is demisexual.

LD: 5800

Pokemon
Rebeca does not keep any Pokeballs with her, so her Pokemon can technically be considered “wild” and can be captured by other trainers. This is extremely inadvisable, as Rebeca considers her Pokemon to be her true family and will violently protect them. Their lives are more valuable to her than anyone else’s.

Nickname: Maya

Species: Kabuto

Gender: female

Level: 18

Ability: Swift Swim

Moves: Scratch, Harden, Absorb, Leer

Held item: none

Maya is essentially Rebeca’s baby. Where and how she came across the infant Kabuto is a secret she will not divulge to anyone, nor are many people even aware of her presence. Maya spends the bulk of her time clinging to Rebeca’s chest beneath her shirt and does not battle. The adoration between them is mutual.

Nickname: Mihkail

Species: Rhyhorn

Level: 34

Ability: Rock Head

Moves: Horn Attack, Bulldoze, Smack Down, Scary Face, Rock Blast

Held Item: none

Mihkail and Rebeca met each other very early in her travels, and the two for all intents and purposes have become brother and sister. They look after each other while roaming the wilderness, protect each other, hunt together, fight together, sleep together, and are never separated. Greatly concerned over the growing loneliness that the avatar experiences, Mihkail seeks a suitable human companion for Rebeca and is very critical of the intentions of others.

Name: Hope

Pokemon: Hoopa

Gender: Female

Age: 38

Hometown: Couriway Town, Kalos

Level: 28

Ability: Magician

Moves: Hyperspace Hole, Psybeam, Fling, Destiny Bond, Magic Coat, Light Screen.

Legendary powers: Hope's power over space is beyond any common psychic, giving her a mastery over teleportation. With minimal effort, she can transport items through hyperspace holes, allowing her to seize virtually any treasure. In her unbound form, she was able to summon other legendary pokemon through portals all over the world, however since her transformation in to a human, her control over the world's space has diminished. Hope is still capable of teleporting other lifeforms, however it requires concentration, time, and energy.

Held item: Lum Berry

Appearance:


Personality: Hope is a natural trickster, who enjoys pulling pranks on unsuspecting victims, and playing hide and seek with their belongings. Seeking her own amusement above anything else, she often follows interesting individuals, and observes their adventures. Hope can be very friendly, and is innocently simple-minded at times, yet extremely protective over her personal belongings and whoever she cares about. Above all things, Hope tries to come off as unpredictable, since she loves to surprise people.

Backstory: Hope was the perfect choice for a host to the legendary pokemon, Hoopa. Coming from a family of gypsies, Hope's mother was a renown fortune teller across Kalos, whose predictions were appraised for their accuracy. Never having a home of her own, Hope learned to make the entire world her domain, and when she was old enough to travel on her own, she said farewell to her family. Along with her trusted Pokemon, Sableye, Hope wandered from city to city challenging various Pokemon gyms, entering competitions, and selling various goods she 'found' during her travels.

During the plague era, Hope watched as the world deteriorated, but never caught the sickness herself. Specializing in ghost and psychic types, Hope's goal was to one day run her own gym, and most of her pokemon, being ghosts, oddly never caught the power plague. Eventually, Hope began tapping in to new found psychic powers, which at first she attributed to her mother's lineage, however with further practice, she found herself capable of powers her family could only dream of possessing. Her psychic prowess grew beyond her mother's, she was able to start reading the thoughts of people with weak mental barriers, or harness her mental energies in to realistic shapes and forms.

Hoopa's voice reigned in one day, informing Hope of the disastrous truth of their world, and the fate of all Pokemon. The mythic pokemon's own mind could not be relinquished, and thus pushed its own agenda on to Hope.

Level: 15

Held item: Eviolite

Name: Tantalus Swain

Pokemon: Xerneas

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Hometown: Canalave City, Sinnoh Region

Level: 37

Ability: Fairy Aura

Moves: Aurora Beam, Flash Cannon, Geomancy, Aromatherapy, Light Screen, Moonblast

Legendary powers: Being an Avatar representing life itself, Tantalus has the ability to restore others to health, be them pokemon, humans, or even other Avatars, purifying pokemon of the Power Plague, should they be stricken with it. Most anything an be fixed with enough time, although some things are beyond even the power he possesses. A secondary bonus of this power, is that Tantalus rarely needs to eat, as the power he possesses replaces nutrients gained when eating. When using his power for a long time or in rapid succession, the result is bouts of weakness and fatigue, which he find extremely degrading. To recover, Tantalus is often forced take a large quantity of food, which is even worse in his eyes. The effect is most notable when healing himself several times within a short period as he would never even dream of pushing his own limits as hard for anyone else.

Held item: Life Orb

Appearance:


Personality: A cruel and sadistic streak dominates Tantalus’ personality, although you wouldn’t know it at a glance. An outward facade covers the true intentions he holds deep in his heart, worn like a suit to further his own goals. Tantalus comes across as a friendly, energetic person, who heals people in need for an assuredly modest fee. When his mood is sullied by arrogance, ignorance, or anything else that pushes his buttons, Tantalus will happily set aside his useful persona, revealing the contempt and casual cruelty underneath, not hesitating to level threats at anything he believes is ‘unworthy’ of life itself. He views himself as a custodian of the world, with the right to decide one way or the other who can and cannot live. Those he takes an extreme interest in will find themselves being pursued, with Tantalus attempting to recruit them into the fold of his scattered followers by whatever means necessary.

Backstory: Surrounded in luxuries of all description, Tantalus began life in an expansive manor in the affluent Canalave City alongside his parents. He lived with the best of everything, and acquired quite the taste for it. A god complex developed, deep within him. This was all well and good, until his family began to slip into debt. Within 6 months of enjoying boundless wealth, he found himself homeless, kicked out into the streets, his social status demoted to less that the rats in the sewers. The only living thing that would give him the time of day was his Mawile. Despite this setback, he swore that this wasn’t going to be the end, proclaiming himself the King of Dust. 6 Years past, and yet he was unable to escape the rut that had seized hold. Arceus eventually chose the now 20-year old Tantalus as a vessel for the great Xerneas, believing that given the power to rise from the dirt would set him on a new path.

How wrong was he?

After gaining the godly power of the legendary pokemon, Tantalus instantly began to recreate his old life, wandering the world to seek people worst hit by the plague, other epidemics, or natural disasters of any shape and form. He would go to where the people most needed him, and when there, would charge a ‘modest’ fee for his services. Continuing like this, Tantalus came to the conclusion that having money and wondrous treasures was not all that he desired. He craved reverence. The power of a god now lay within him, so why should he be treated as a mere mortal, no matter how high class. So he took to wandering once more, this time not seeking riches, but devotion, creating a fanatical cult in his own name. Healing people with deadly toxins just enough for them to feel better in exchange for them serving him, ensuring they were dependant on him. Making dark alley deals with the people others wouldn’t go near. Having people who relied on him.
A cabal of people absolutely dedicated to him alone.

That is what it means to be a god.

"Oh, u...um...are you t...talking to me?"

Name: Alain Reemont

Pokemon: Yveltal

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Hometown: Nowhere. He cant even remember where he was born.

Level: 38

Ability: Dark Aura

Moves:
Oblivion Wing
Hurricane
Steel Wing
Double Team
Air Slash

Legendary powers: Alain is capable of draining the life force of anything he touches, and is able to drain from a distance of fifteen meters, although this is much slower. Said draining can result in nourishment for him, which is useful for his time on the street. Despite his scrawny build, he is incredibly fast, preferring to dodge attacks rather than tank them. Should he drain something dry, he can gain access to some of their memories, although he has only ever drained a human once.

Held item: Life Orb





Personality: Alain is arguably one of the kindest and most cheerful people you could ever meet. Despite his awful life, he just cant bear the thought of hurting people unnecessarily and always feels a little guilty using his power, even when it is on plants. However, he is not soft in any way, and if he will viciously attack if someone is being threatened by someone unpleasant. Thanks to his life on the street, he has had very little interation with other people, and as a result has no social skills. Especially when he is talking to women. When talking to people, he has a habit of stuttering. Although he is a good artist, he is incapable of making a career out of it due to aforementioned lack of social skills. He generally just gives his paintings away for free. Although he is usually quiet, he does have a habit of calling his attacks.

Backstory: Born as the to the heir of an important family and one of their maids, his mother was fired the moment she became pregnant, causing her to lose her home. Therefore, he was raised in various abandoned buildings and alleyways.

When he was eleven, she died of a unspecified illness, leaving him alone and frightened. He spent the next four years surviving on his own, coming close to starving many times and attempting to avoid trouble whenever he could. When he was fifteen, he met a scyther who had been abandoned by its trainer, and like Alain, he was slowly starving. The scyther became his only friend, with him naming it "Exo"

A few days later, him and Exo came across a old man close to death from the cold and wet. Out of simple kindness, Alain decided to stay with him in his last hours, as simply moving him would be fatal.

During this time, Arceus looked for humans to partner with legendary pokemon, and noticed the young boy who had lost almost everything that had ever mattered to him. Alain fell unconcious. When he woke up, he felt the power of destruction flowing through his now changed body.

He was shocked, horrified even. But he turned, and saw the old man close to death. With his newfound powers, he eased his passing, draining the last of his life force. Feeling invogerated, he was determined to use his new powers to help people in any way he could.

SInce then, he has attempted to change his life. He often likes to paint, although he has had little luck in selling his paintings.

Name: Lucas Galpheti

Pokemon*: Lugia

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Hometown: Olivine City, Johto

Level**: 31

Ability: Pressure

Moves***:
Weather Ball
Rain Dance
Dragon Rush
Extra Sensory
Ice Beam (TM)
Gust

Legendary powers: Lucas's mantle as Beast of the Sea bequethes him with a few blessings; the ability to walk on water as though it were solid land, to withstand the pressure of the ocean depths, and to hold his breath for hours on end beneath the waves. At all times he is aware of the general direction of the Avatars of Moltress, Articuno, and Zapados, and a general idea of their state of wellbeing.

Held item****: Shell Bell

Appearance: Since his merge with Lugia, Lucas his tried to mimic his predecessor, whether out of respect or wholly believing himself to be the legitimate item, wearing clothing that greatly let him resemble the Beast of the Sea. His once brown hair has turned ivory and grown to an almost femine length, though Lucas seems to not notice or care.



Personality:

"No man, nor Arceus himself, can tell you what you should do. Only what you can do."

Lucas is peaceful, disciplined, kind, yet somewhat detached from the day to day of regular life. As an Avatar, he seems to take his new abilities and gifts with a significant grain of salt and seems to wholly believe he must step into the role of who he is now, rather than who he was. With Lugia came its wisdom, which Lucas will disperse with quiet serenity. He remains the last person to judge until one's decisions put others at stake, and emphasises on giving humans choices, for good or ill, rather than outright their problems.

Lucas will often try to solve his own problems with words first, and powers a distant second, typically resorting to violence only as a last resort. With his fellow legendaries, he takes a more firm hand and often acts as the "the older brother who will nudge you back into place if you act up and tell you to knock it off," though he offers the same quiet serenity and ear to them as he would any other.

One quirk that sets the legendary apart is the quiet, whispered conversation he haves with himself at times, especially during stressful situations. The avatar barely seems to be aware that he himself is doing, and it always seems as though one side of the conversation is left out.

GM SECRET Personality:

Is a secret!

Backstory:

"We each have a story. Yours is yours, mine is mine. Every author thinks himself the greatest, but that doesn't make him any less important."

Born and raised in the coastal town of Olivine City, Lucas and his family were fishermen and lived on a boat in the marina. Much of his childhood was spent playing with his siblings on the docks of the city and out at sea with his father, searching for the day's catch.
The boy never showed any real interest in becoming a pokemon anything. While he and his family used them in their buisiness, Lucas never partook or even desired to own a pokemon of his own. His passions thrived more in sailing and diving, and the boy seemed more content miles from the shore than he did with his feet on land. It was expected by all that he and his younger brothers would take over their father's enterprise and grow into a fishing empire. The Power Plague did little to hurt their buisiness, and all seemed as it would return to normal.
Lucas quietly vanished from his home one storm night, and has never been seen since.

Name: Emry Stark

LD: 5400

Pokemon: Jirachi

Gender: female

Age: 14

Hometown: somewhere in Kalos

Level: 27

Ability: Serene Grace

Known moves: Wish, Confusion, Psychic

Held item:

Appearance: Looks a couple years younger than average for her age. Average build. Straight golden blonde hair. Large teal eyes. Round silver glasses.

Personality: Emry's personality is a bit of a mystery. Sometimes she acts shy and anxious. At other times, she acts friendly and fun-loving. Jirachi occasionally surfaces as a child-like voice in her head, and Emry sometimes takes the role of the adult who says no to Jirachi's carefree whims.

Backstory: Emry's Xatu friend told her that terrible things could happen if Arceus' plates get into the wrong hands. The Xatu used a wish to scatter the plates. However, Emry recently learned that the plates are still in danger. Thus, she is on a mission to find the plates and return them to Arceus before the Alpha Pokemon awakens and/or somebody else uses them to threaten the world as we know it.

Personality: Tyson is generally friendly and chill. However, he is also vain and proud. He is charismatic and competitive and loves attention.

Backstory: Tyson is a well-known model, perhaps the most famous of the avatars. He doesn't seem to take his new avatar role seriously, mostly using his newfound powers to look sexy shirtless in the rain. He has recently taken on the task of training a Wooper (who belongs to a friend of his agent) to participate in Pokemon Contests.

Name: Drystan Graye

Pokemon: Dialga

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Hometown: Fuchsia City, Kanto Region

Level: 39

Ability:Pressure

Moves: Aura Sphere, Earth Power, Dragon Claw, Dragon Breath, Fire Blast, Metal Burst.

Legendary powers: Through the use of Dialga’s time-bending abilities, Drystan can manipulate objects through their timeline. A varied power, it can manifest in a wide range of smaller abilities. By reversing the time of an object, he can recreate an exact copy of it from any point along its timeline. It helps to have all the fragments of the object present when doing this, but Diagla’s power can drag them through if necessary, although this is more tiring. Smaller objects are quick and easy to do this with, but the bigger the object, the more power and time is needed to fully revert it. By breaking an object in half, Drystan can also then create two full replicas of the original, as an example. On the flip side, he can also accelerate the timeline, causing objects to age rapidly. These powers can operate either from hand, or from range on any object he has touched within an stock time period of an hour. This can extend longer if the object is kept close by, and likewise fade faster as the distance between Drystan and the object increases. The power has a great deal of variables to it. An object’s start point in time, end point in time, and how long it takes to age from point a to point b is entirely configurable. He can whittle 5 minutes off an object over the course of 10 seconds, or snap it 500 years into the future in 2. Using this power on a container can affect the contents that is/would be inside of it, and this is one way to get around the singular cardinal rule governing its usage - that it cannot directly affect organic matter.

Held items: Dragon Fang
Fire Blast (TM)
Cigar
Cigarettes
Matches



Personality: A proud man, he can be found very quick to anger. He values loyalty through fear more than anything else, with all but two exceptions to that rule - Palkia and Deladriss. Playing to his ego makes him wary. Down to his past, Drystan isn’t very trusting, always looking for the hidden agenda in people and their conversations, even when only eavesdropping. He will happily participate in light-hearted banter, but the more serious and personal it becomes, the more likely it is to piss him off. To friends, he is fiercely loyal. To everyone else, his loyalty can be bought, for a price, which doesn’t usually include money. Drystan values his plan - and those involved - more than anything else in the world, and help to complete that would land someone in very good standing with him. With a sharp wit and silver tongue, attempting to engage in a conversation can be a nightmare - combined with a short fuse, and you risk losing a few teeth.

Backstory: Drystan’s parents died in a car crash when he was 12, and he promptly found himself in foster care with the wicked witch of the west. After deciding that any life would be better than this, he ran away one night when he was 13, and began living on the streets of Fuchsia City. Surviving as a petty thief and selling whatever he stole to the various biker gangs in the city, he officially joined up with one shortly after his 15th birthday. The Steel Wing gang, led by a woman called Lumina.

Steel Wing had a rather specific dress code, and they operated as a biker gang, wearing mob-style get-ups straight out of the old mob movies. Suits, hats, all very business-like. They also, unsurprisingly, held a penchant for steel-type pokemon, with Lumina’s partner being a Scizor. From living on the street, Drystan had never had the chance to develop a bond with a pokemon, and so wasn’t of a great deal of use to the gang as a whole. Overall, he was forced to do the legwork while other members took on the actual important aspects. This became the status quo for over a year, until Drystan, remaining loyal throughout, earned enough trust to be loaned a Pokemon from Steel Wing. Finally, he became an enforcer, working alongside a wide range of Pokemon - from Aggrons to Bisharps.

From there, Drystan worked up the ranks until he stood as one of Lumina’s trusted lieutenants through a mix of determination, skill, attitude and a sharp mind. Soon enough, Drystan was planning and running raids using Lumina’s own pokemon, Deladriss. The two developed a strong working relationship over time. Steel Wing thrived with the two’s abilities working in tandem.

Lumina was a loved leader, as much as they are, as everyone admired and owed something to her. That was enough to keep the rabble loyal and in order. Except one. Even the strongest admiration and love can’t temper ambition. Drystan knew he was better than a simple lieutenant. Over the course of the last year, he had pretty much run the gang in all but name, planning every activity and making the place run like clockwork. So, he hatched another of his plans, this time aiming to oust Lumina in a way no-one would suspect.

By secretly rallying the city’s gangs - and turning her own Scizor against her - Drystan assumed leadership of Steel Wing a few months after orchestrating the plan. After that, it moved with a ruthless efficiency. Operating through an ethos of fear, Drystan quickly crushed the other gangs who had been weakened after launching a full-scale attack on Steel Wing - only for it to fail. He had a tailored suit made for him a few days after assuming leadership, and with Deladriss at his side, things went smoothly for a time.

Until a biker gang from a neighbouring city shattered that illusion.

Held item: Metronome

Name: Aktzin Veracruz

Pokemon: Zekrom

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Hometown: Fiore

Level: 31

Ability: Teravolt

Moves: Dragon’s Breath, Thunderbolt, Imprison, Thunder Fang, Ancient Power, Thunder Wave(™)

Legendary powers: As the embodiment of Zekrom, Aktzin can control lightning, producing it at will. He can summon lightning from within his own body, although it will be less powerful than channeling the raw and unfiltered version. Doing so drains his own energy which limits him to smaller and more controlled bursts, and requires him to take in more energy from food and rest. While outdoors, Aktzin can call down lightning strikes from above, which are severely amplified in power during storms.

Held item: Magnet

Appearance:

Personality: Nice once you get to know him, although can be blunt - often rude - until you gain his trust. Fully dedicates himself to battles and doesn’t like to lose. Aktzin will congratulate opponents on a good battle when he wins, but will be distant and annoyed upon being defeated. Opens up only to those who he trusts, but will be a steadfast and loyal friend to those he can rely on. Optimistically faces down challenges taking on the world with an open mind. Aktzin will help those weaker than him, which displeases his Legend to no end, despite him having complete control. Zekrom believes a weak world isn’t one worth saving, and voices his discomfort through making Aktzin feel uneasy, but otherwise continues on, unaware. From learning the ways of his tribe, one of his greatest strengths is the ability to bond with a variety of different pokemon and use them to their fullest capability. The relationship he has with Salem is an example of this, with her using various support abilities during battles involving them both. Aktzin can be overly quiet and naive with people, often missing deeper meanings and misunderstanding idioms and other common phrases. Due to his tribal ideals, he will rarely keep Salem in a pokeball and should the two become separated, Aktzin will be incredibly tense and worried.

Backstory: Aktzin spent his life travelling the Fiore region alongside his family in a nomadic tribal group, who were somewhat reminiscent of the real-world Native American peoples. Any pokemon who worked alongside them were treated with the utmost respect - even revered - which meant Arceus’ Avatar program held a great appeal to them. When one of their own was chosen to represent the pokemon of Ideals, it couldn’t have pleased them more.

Despite the honour, for Aktzin, life rolled on regardless, almost unaware of his newfound powers. The campfires were easier to light, that was one thing, but for him and his loyal pokemon, the caravans would not fix themselves. However, this would not be the last time that a higher power would come calling.

After eight months of being an Avatar, another showed up from far across the seas, looking for him. The man had traced rumours and hearsay in order to locate him, and had a proposition that ‘was sure to tickle the fancy of his dormant legend’, whatever that meant. The offer was fairly simple. A place in a new pantheon of Gods in return for his help and loyalty in the coming months and years until the plan came to fruition. They would rule together, alongside as many other Avatars as they could find. A utopia based purely on the strength of those who would support the pillars, where the Avatars would receive the respect and treatment they so obviously deserved. After a life of roaming the countryside, a change of scenery appealed to Aktzin, and so he decided to throw his lot in with him.

The very nice suit had nothing to do with it.

Ability: Synchronise

Moves: Screech, Feint Attack, Confuse Ray, Sand Attack, Helping Hand, Shadow Ball.

Held item: Leftovers

Name: Charlie Flare

Pokemon: Heatran

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Hometown: Canalave City

Level: 40

Ability: Flash fire

Moves: Magma Storm, Heat Wave, Earth Power, Iron Head, Ancient Power and (learned by tutoring) Dragon Pulse.

Legendary powers:

Held item: Binding Band


Personality: He is easily set off but also easily calmed down. (unless you make him erupt, then you should run for your life.) He doesn't like big crowds but very much likes small company so he has someone to talk to. He mostly appears happy towards others but with effort you can notice he is trying to hide some unknown sadness. He also likes swimming in lava (which he discovered AFTER Heatran bonded with him, thank Arceus for that.) and spelunking.

Backstory: Born and raised in Canalave City, Charlie was your average guy with above average anger management problems. He got into a lot of fights at school, but furthermore everything went fine. That was until a certain accident happened to him recently after he and Heatran bonded. After this accident, Charlie forced himself to go into hiding. While being hidden, he searched for and found the Magma Stone, which he carries in his backpack, which he uses to keep control of his own powers. Shortly after acquiring the stone, he heard that his parents moved from his home town in grief of his disappearance, making him homeless. He now wanders the pokeworld, stuck with what he rather sees as a curse than a gift.

Name: Claudia Jund
Pokemon: Palkia
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Hometown: Celadon City, Kanto Region
Level: 31

Ability: Telepathy, always avoid damaging moves used by allies
Moves:
Hone Claws (™ 01 raise accuracy and attack)
Dragon Claw (level 28, 80 damage)
Double Team(™ 32, increase evasion)
Aqua Tail (level 24, 90 damage) visually probably use this around claws as well
Power Gem (level 19, rock, 80 damage) bands on shoulders with gems as source
Slash ( level 15, 70 damage, increased critical hit chance)

Legendary powers: Palkia’s space-time manipulation manifests in three ways. The first is the ability to open a portal directly through solid matter, providing Claudia is within touching distance of the object and the object in question is actually solid. Brickwork walls can be passed through with a single stride, whereas plastered sheets would take more time. In addition to this, she can also open portals in mid-air to close the distance between two points within her line of sight. This ability had no upper range, but works best out on the long open roads of the countryside as opposed to cramped indoor spaces. edit: The third is a localized stretching, squashing or bending of space, these spatial anomalies take longer to set up than the portals but can allow for interesting effects, that are localized on a specific object or location, be it an item like here gloves, bending space into loops, stretching the distance between two locations to far longer than it seems. All of these effects take time and concentration to set up, large scale distortions can take minutes of careful hand crafting to set up so as a result she gets the most regular use of it to make items smaller (nobody expects a her of carrying around razor sharp claws, a lounger or several motorcycles for example).

Held item: Razor Claw(s), Raises the critical hit ratio of the holder.



Personality: On the outside, Claudia is a generous and kind woman, not beyond letting her hair down and having some fun. This side of her has proved to be extremely useful in uniting the various gangs in Celadon under the single banner, and then again during negotiations with those in Fuschia City. She is loved by most people who meet her as a genuine and benevolent Queen. Scratch away that facade, however, and the woman staring back is quite different. With a deep love of power and finding the act of ruling to be the most divine feeling in the world, her appetite for authority and control is never quite sated. This leads to setting her sights higher and higher, moving further up the chain each time. Her relationship with Drystan is best summed up by calling them rivals. While they always work towards a common goal, their methods and ideologies surrounding the best approach differ greatly, often leading to small confrontations between the two. Despite this, however, while Palkia rules with a gentle heart and a loving smile, Dialga remains a threat she uses to inspire loyalty in even the most ragtag of people.

Backstory: Growing up as an anarchistic rebel gave Claudia a great sense of accomplishment as she became a symbol of the less satisfied side of Celadon City. Her popularity skyrocketed pretty much everywhere she went - mostly because she knew exactly how best to manipulate people. Despite being young, she quite suddenly found herself tasked with the job of keeping a group of bikers in check. Without much hesitation, she converted the group into a proper gang and set about seizing power over the city from the others, piece by piece using her charms to win over most and her mercy to recruit those few who fought and lost. She named the gang Milotic Scale, after her ever faithful pet.

Taking over the city wasn’t hard because most people didn’t have a problem with sticking her in charge. She seemed to be a natural leader, and the united gangs became a more respectful bunch specialising in more organised crime than wanton anarchy. Even the local authorities were happy to turn a blind eye providing nothing untoward was going on in any way which could hurt the local population. This continued for a while, until Claudia’s lust for power proved too strong, and she launched an all-out war in an attempt to force out the gang from the neighbouring city - Drystan’s Steel Wing.

Months past without group being gained on either side. Her inspiring presence could whip her followers into a frenzy, but when they clashed with people fearing for their life should they lose, it was a dead heat. Negotiations were eventually opened between her and the rival leader - the two agreeing to put aside any differences out of mutual respect for one another, and rule over both cities together as a duo. Thus the friendship between Claudia and Drystan was born.

A few years down the line, and things had been going well. Claudia held her lust for power in check because she couldn’t feasibly control any more ground with her abilities. Until the plague came. They had been informed that they were to become the Avatars for Palkia and Dialga, if they so wished. Neither of the two hesitated.

With the newfound power granted by the alliance of Drystan with Dialga, and Claudia with Palkia, the combined might of the Steel Wing and Milotic Scale gangs - headed by two Avatars boasting tremendous powers - promptly swept any threat out of the city without any difficulty. Claudia had other ideas, however, and now wanted even more power if she could get it, and the two worked out a plan to gain more power than they could have ever dreamed of before the offer of becoming an Avatar. Leaving the city in the care of their top lieutenants, the pair departed bound for the major cities in a hunt for those like them.
